Make sure you bed them in properly for optimum performance. Here's a link to the procedure: http://www.stoptech.com/whitepapers/bedincontents.htm

no suggestions, but jesus christ. you tow a big a$$ boat with that? looks like you could stop the titanic with those bad boys.
the red looks great with the car too by the way.
you track it much? i had stop-tech before, and could lap all day with hardly any brake fade. great product (but mine were alot smaller than that.......)

Thanks for your support. Enjoy your brakes.
newtlicious,
Retail on our 4 wheel kit in red/slotted is $4495. With drilled rotors, total would be $4695. We can do silver, black calipers at no added cost. Yellow or blue would be +$100 per caliper. We are going to be offering gold paint in the near future. We also have a 4 wheel kit that is more geared towards racing/track use. The kitt uses the same front as this kit, but with a 2 piston rear and a slightly smaller/lighter rotor (same caliper that is on World Challenge race cars). Retail on that kit is $4495 as well.

Did you see my list of mods above (and below too)? I'll have to see if I can post some pictures of my 13" four wheel kit with the 2 piston rear caliper. I haven't seen anyone post a picture of the rear kit installed on their car (except you of course with the prototype). I love the red calipers on a blue car.
Hey man...I didn't notice your sig. Yep...the two piston setup is very sweet as well. They held up beautifully in World Challenge racing. Auberlin won the Touring championship with that setup on his BMW 3 series this year...and the Mazda's came on strong as well: http://www.stoptech.com/press_releases/laguna_wins.htm
I was at the Laguna Seca race, and Altenburg was bombing the TSX's into the turns.

it is well worth it.
and the first few times you go, even if you think you are a good driver, you will realize that you really aren't. i know i did. it was a blast though. the difference in good brakes is unbelievable. even if you are under powered compared to other cars, you can go into the corners a lot faster, braking later, and keep up even if they pull you on straight aways. they are especially handly on autocross courses. i wish i lived down there. you guys have tracks everywhere

The red calipers look the best with black.. 
Your car looks great! With my BBK, I find myself accelerating towords red lights, and slamming on the brakes to freak out the cross traffic! It's a blast! The look of panic in their eyes...mmmwwwwaaaaahhhh

Looks good. How does the car drive? My concern is how the car feels and handles with the extra unsprung weight of those large brakes.
